DUH Report on Lack of Durability of Replacement Catalytic Converter
On 13 September 2016 the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH)
released a report prepared by TÜV-Nord investigating the
durability of a replacement catalytic converter from the
company EEC.
A catalytic converter was tested fresh, then aged in an oven
and retested after aging. NEDC emissions tests were
performed with a Euro 4 gasoline VW Passat 1.6L 75 kW
for which the replacement converter is certified. The car had
already driven a little bit over 80 000 km.
UN Regulation No 103 on replacement catalytic converters
allows for the use of a Deterioration Factor of 1.2 and in that
case the emissions requirements with the replacement part
were only met for HC, not for CO and NOx. After oven
aging, all three pollutant limits were exceeded.
DUH is calling once more on the German Federal Ministry
of Transport to introduce effective control measures to
prevent the distribution of replacement catalytic converters
that do not comply.

World Bank Report on Air Pollution Costs
On 8 September 2016 the World Bank published a report
on “The cost of air pollution: strengthening the economic
case for action”.
Air pollution is not just a health risk but also a drag on
development. By causing illness and premature death, air
pollution reduces the quality of life. By causing a loss of
productive labour, it also reduces incomes in these
countries. Air pollution can have a lasting effect on
productivity in other ways as well – for example, by stunting
plant growth and reducing the productivity of agriculture,
and by making cities less attractive to talented workers,
thereby reducing cities’ competitiveness, the report says.
The World Bank study sets out to calculate the economic
costs of premature mortality from air pollution to strengthen
the business case for governments to act ambitiously in
reducing pollution.
The number of deaths each year attributable to air pollution
makes a compelling case for reducing pollution. Valuing the
costs of premature deaths associated with pollution helps to
further highlight the severity of the problem. Governments
face a wide array of competing development challenges,
and monetizing the costs of pollution can help them decide
how to allocate scarce resources to better the lives of their
citizens. Monetary values can also help them measure the
benefits of policies to tackle pollution and, when compared
with costs of implementation, to devise cost-effective air
quality management plans.
The report found that in 2013 exposure to ambient and
household air pollution cost the world’s economy some
$5.11 trillion (€4.5 trillion) in welfare losses. In terms of
magnitude, welfare losses in South Asia and East Asia &
Pacific were the equivalent of 7.4% and 7.5% of the
regional gross domestic product (GDP), respectively. At the
low end, losses were still equal to 2.2% of GDP in the
Middle East & North Africa. Household air pollution from
cooking with solid fuels was the biggest cause of losses in
South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. In all other regions,
losses were largely caused by ambient air pollution from
fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Labour income losses, while
expectedly lower than welfare losses, were nonetheless
substantial in regions with younger populations. Lost
income for countries in South Asia totalled more than $66
billion (€59 billion) in 2013, the equivalent of nearly 1% of
GDP. Globally, the labour income losses totalled $225
billion (€200 billion) in 2013.
Moreover, air pollution costs have grown since 1990. From
1990 to 2013, welfare losses nearly doubled and labour
income losses increased by 40%, despite countries having
made great gains in economic development and health
outcomes.
By 2013 about 87% of the world’s population was living in
areas that exceeded the Air Quality Guideline of the World
Health Organization (WHO), which is an annual average of
10 µg/m³ of PM2.5. From 1990 to 2013, premature mortality
attributable to ambient PM2.5 increased by 30%, from 2.2
million deaths to 2.9 million deaths per year. Global welfare
losses from exposure to ambient PM2.5 rose 63% over the
same period, reaching $3.55 trillion (€3.1 trillion). Labour
income losses due to ambient PM2.5 climbed from $103
billion (€91 billion) to $144 billion (€128 billion) per year.
The fact that global welfare losses from fatal illness
attributable to air pollution are in the trillions of dollars, is a
call to action, the report concludes.
